Thomas Gibson: Aaron Hotchner

Quotes 

• Aaron Hotchner : [opening quote]  It's often said: "There is no footprint too small to leave an imprint on this world"

• David Rossi : Talk about taking one for the team.

  Agent Tia Canning : What was that all about?

  Aaron Hotchner : If she's a predisposed female offender, a major indicator is uncontrolled rage when challenged. I'd say she passed the test.

• Penelope Garcia : Gabby's not the only baby on that forum that's being discussed.

  Aaron Hotchner : Garcia, I need to know everything that you can find about anyone communicating with Sue.

  Penelope Garcia : Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna... Oh, my God. Oh, no, no, no... Sue gave Gabby away.

• Derek Morgan : JJ, you okay?

  Jennifer Jareau : They don't have any place safe to be.

  Alex Blake : It's not ideal, but they'll be in foster care until they find a family.

  David Rossi : Yeah, but how many more kids like that are out there?

  Aaron Hotchner : That's a good question.

• Aaron Hotchner : Kate trusted you with the care of her child. You were responsible for this little girl. You had a duty to protect her, and you failed, miserably. What happened to Gabby is all your fault. You know nothing about what it takes to be a mother. You're pathetic.

  Sue Walsh : [rages Hotch and shouts]  You son of a bitch! I'll kill you! Get off me! Get off me! No! No! Get off me!

• Agent Tia Canning : Disrupted adoptions?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : That's what the people involved are calling it. They're also referring to it as re-homing. And it's been happening underground for some time now.

  Alex Blake : Until now, it's mainly been overwhelmed adoptive parents of problem children from overseas.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Good people go on site looking for guidance or services, but bad people offer to take problem kids off their hands as a last resort.

  Agent Tia Canning : So they just give them away to some random couple?

  Jennifer Jareau : Calling them couples is a bit generous. The article talks about these people who pose as families, but really they're just freaks looking for access to kids.

  Alex Blake : And no one's keeping track of them.

  Agent Tia Canning : Why isn't this illegal?

  Aaron Hotchner : Well, 'cause it's a relatively new practice, and unsurprisingly, no legislation's been written yet.

• David Rossi : [to Michael Feehan laying on the couch]  Please, give me a reason.

  Michelle Fader : What the hell's going on?

  Aaron Hotchner : Michelle Fader, you're under arrest for staging a child abduction.

  Michelle Fader : I didn't do nothing. Look, I was trying to help that girl.

  Aaron Hotchner : You have the right to remain silent.

  Michelle Fader : I am only trying to help that girl. She wanted a fresh start.

  Aaron Hotchner : Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

  Michelle Fader : She couldn't take care of her own babies anymore.

  Aaron Hotchner : You have a right to an attorney...

  Michelle Fader : I am trying to help that girl!

  Aaron Hotchner : You have a right to an attorney.

  Michelle Fader : What's gonna happen to my babies?
